night time talks

Carrie's pov.





She spotted her car sitting broken in the drive way as she closed the door gently behind her. The sky was still dark above her. She knew she was crazy doing it but she really had no choice in her mind, she couldn't standing being in that house any longer. She knew they would hear a cab pulling up in the street so decided to walk towards the end before attempting to. Kelly was going to be so angry with her she knew that much, and it would probably set their marriage back months again. As she walked past the car her eye caught something in the back seat. With a closer look Carrie's heart ached just a little more as she watched her wife laying curled up, her head resting against the back door. Part of her wanted to walk past the car and continue down the street but she knew she couldn't . Kelly shifted a little trying to get comfortable. With the slowed possible movements Carrie opened the back door quickly cupping Kelly's head she slid in letting her wife's head rest gently on her knee. Her hand came in contact with Kelly's hair as she brushed it out of her face.



'You were really going to do it........'Carrie's hand paused as she looked down at Kelly's sad face. 'You were going to leave me here.........'



'I knew you would be safe.......' Carrie knew it wasn't a good enough answer but it's all she had. 'Why are you sleeping here/........'



'I was making sure you didn't go........'



'Why didn't you just wait for me in the living room..........' Kelly moved around to her side so she wasn't looking at Carrie any more, her head still lay on her knee.



'I wanted to see if you would walk out the door.......'



'I told you I would......'



'I don't like being threatened.......' Kelly said with an angry tone to her voice. 'And I really didn't like how you spoke to me last night.........i won't have you talking to me like that........My father used to talk to my mother like that.. your not going to start it with me........' Carrie took Kelly's chin in her hand tugging it gently till the blond looked up at her.



'I'm not him......And i'm sorry.......i should never have spoke to you like that.........And I won't do it again....i promise......'





'Kelly's pov.





'Kelly looked up into her wife's eyes seeing the honesty in them.



'I know you won't.......and im sorry too......'Carrie went to shake her head but Kelly stopped her. ' I am........i should have spoke up......told my father that you were sleeping with me.......we're a team and I didn't act like that last night........'



'I know you just want your dads approval.........I can see how it hurt you when he does those things...........' Carrie continued to stroke Kelly's hair causing the blond to turn into her so her face was pressed against the country girls stomach.



'I should be trying for your approval instead..........'



'You don't need my approval......'Carri interrupted. 'I'm with you no matter what.....even if I don't agree.......' Carrie paused to look out the window, her face turning into a frown. 'Even though I didn't do it last night.......last night wasn't a good night......' Carrie sighed heavily as she turned back toward her wife.



'I know my dad was horrible to you......'



'Not that.......that im used to......' Carrie took a deep breath before looking back out the window.





Carrie's pov





She really didn't want to have this conversation in the back of their car in the middle of the night but she knew she couldn't keep it to herself any more.



'That call last night......'Carrie began. 'I t was a little more than what I told you......'



'it wasn't about the album?.......' Kelly asked confused.



'Oh it was.....'Carrie explained. 'They......they told me......'



'What did they tell you?........' Kelly sat up till she was sitting in Carrie's lap.



'They're scrapping the album........and seriously thinking of dropping me........' Carrie turned away ashamed as she looked out the car window. She could feel Kelly frozen on her knee as the Texan tried to understand.



'Dropping you?.......but...but your one of the biggest acts they have.........'



'But not the biggest.......'Carrie explained. 'and what cuts they're making.......they only have room for the biggest..........' Carrie kept her head turned away from Kelly, she knew it was all adding up now in her wife's mind.



'Their cutting you but keeping me?........'Kelly whispered.



'You are the biggest.........'



'Carrie........'



'Don't Kelly......don't say sorry........'



'But........'Kelly sighed softly causing Carrie to turn.



'It's not your fault........although last night in your fathers kitchen I was blaming you.......but that's no excuse for how I talked to you..........'Carrie swallowed the lump in her throat as she looked back towards the house.



'You said thinking of dropping you?........what does that mean?.......'



'It means......'Carrie let her hands pull Kelly closer to her as she rested her chin on Kelly's shoulder. 'They're giving me six months to work with my management to get some sort of hype going.......if I can get the media interested in me then maybe I can be saved.........'



'And what do they suggest?........' Kelly's hands were now running through Carrie's hair, gently rubbing the back of her scalp.



'A move to la...........be seen out and about with my very famous wife...........' Carrie looked at Kelly ashamed. 'I won't.......'



'I'll do it......'Kelly said forcefully.



'Kelly.........'



'Look it's still night time.....lets just go back inside and sleep for a while......we can talk about this tomorrow.........'Kelly went to move but Carrie kept her tightly wrapped in her arms.



'Can't we just stay here?.......i don't think I can let you go right now........' Carrie felt a tear slowly run down her cheek only for it to be kissed away by Kelly.



'I'm not letting you go.....'Kelly whispered against her cheek, her lips still resting where the tear was. ' Let him get annoyed.......your coming into my bed with me........it's about time he started playing by my rules.........' Carrie let out an uneven breath as she tried not to laugh.



'Can we go visit your mom after this?........I'd love her to see this side of you.......' Kelly only shook her head as she pulled Carrie out the car and towards the house.
